Beware: Possible phone scam

BJWSA is alerting its customers to what is an apparent scam involving phone calls from individuals, posing as representatives of BJWSA. A call has been received by the customer telling them they owe a specific amount of money, and their service will be disconnected if not paid ASAP. They are told to get a prepaid card from Walmart (or other options offered), and call a 1-888 number with the payment.

BJWSA will never tell a customer they MUST pay with a prepaid card. There are many options of payment, and courtesy calls are now made through our automated system. If you have concerns about the legitimacy of a call, asking for a payment immediately, hang up and call our office at 843-987-9200. You may want to report such an incident to law enforcement, as well.
